    I would try the following, not necessarily in order.
    1. Longer development time - this is direct positive and more development might bring more info into the shadow areas.
    2. Dilute film developer
    3. LC-1

    here's some more shots on the paper, developed in Dektol still, haven't gotten around to picking up some Selectol.

    Metered for 2 stops darker than ISO 6 (that makes it ISO 1.5 I guess?), for the water shots I metered for the foam highlights and placed them one stop over middle grey.

    I tried HC110, nearly identical results as the Dektol.

    No I haven't! I've ready about flashing/pre-exposure for film and paper, but I've never really done it before. Next time I have a chance to shoot some of this paper, I'll give it a shot

    This is cliffhanger photography!
    You mess up one sheet you are done!
    I was going to suggest pre-bleaching, but that's even worst than flashing.
    I understand that not all the images need the contrast of these posted, but, and I repeat myself, I do like them.
